Latest Podcast Episodes

Paul, Giles, Rick and Richard are back to discuss two stories with with double trouble - last episode it was 5th Doctor adventure The Caves of Androzani from Season 21, which we've paired this time with 11th Doctor story The Rebel Flesh / The Almost People from Series 6. We'll decide whether they have have double the fun, or just provoke a double take. 

Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com

Head over to https://www.bigfinish.com/, where we all love Paul's stories. His latest release is an Audio Novel called The Lord of Misrule featuring the Fourth Doctor, Romana, Jago and Litefoot and starring Jon Culshaw: https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-the-lord-of-misrule-3160

Rick posts on social media as @brickpandorica, where you can find fantastic pictures of his Lego models of Doctor Who moments. He's recently exhibited at the Calder Valley Brick Show and the Bricktastic show in Manchester.

Giles has 2 children's books out, which you can find in all good bookshops and also at these links: Can We Live on Mars? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Mappers-Mappers-Making-Difficult-Understand/dp/B0C65GDB4G/ and Spin to Survive: Deep Space Danger https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spin-Survive-Destiny-Pop-Out-Fortune/dp/0711287767/.

Richard's other podcast "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" is currently on hiatus, but it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better. For all episodes, go to https://ifhurtnotwork.podbean.com/ and https://ifhurtnot.work.

The Something Who logo, which features prominently on all our cover art was designed for us by Bea Garrido. She's a really talented artist, who you can find by following this link: https://beagarridoart.weebly.com/, where you can buy prints of some remarkable paintings of characters from Doctor Who.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

Our latest episode features outstanding writer/actor Tim Treloar, star of stage and screen and of course, Big Finish Audio as the Third Doctor!   We talk to Tim about his extensive career, that one time he frustrated Patrick Stewart, and the most unusual way he was cast as the new voice of the Third Doctor at Big Finish.

Then Tim presents his Pick of the Month, the Godfather of prestige TV, The Sopranos.  How has this show held up over 26 years?  What is its rewatchability factor?  And what about that ending?!

We hope you enjoy this show and we'll see you again in May!

Review - The Claws of Axos

This time, Phil and Paul look at The Claws of Axos, starring Jon Pertwee as the Doctor and Katy Manning as Jo Grant. Written for television by Bob Baker and Dave Martin and adapted by Terrance Dicks for the Target novelisation, bumbling government ministers with delusions of grandeur, CIA agents with pleasantly ugly faces and a shrill musical score is the order of the day. So listen as our reviewing pair compare the television and book versions.

They also take the opportunity to celebrate 20 years of Doctor Who returning to our screens.

We also apologise for some sound problems during this recording, it was one hell of a night!

Hello dear listener! Dave's taken a leave of absence (we'll do the planned FATHER TIME episode next month), and tonight Rob is talking to the self-professed 'Pip & Jane Baker of co-hosts', Mike Solko, on a missing story from Season 23 of Doctor Who, PARADISE 5.

Before then, all the usual news and short topics you’ve come to expect – including surprise showrunner talk from RTD, and new trailers for Season 2 of the show. In Short Topics, Mike covers the changes coming to Gallifrey One (the world's largest and longest-running annual Doctor Who fan convention), in the years ahead. 

Later on, after the Paradise 5 section, we have a ton of listener feedback and what we’ve been watching this past month. Something for everyone! Fill your boots!

SHOW NOTES

(00:09:35) The Polish Social and Cultural Center (POSK for short) in London’s Hammersmith district was founded by the Polish community in the UK.

(00:18:57) “Swallows and Amazons” is a 1974 British film adaption of the 1930 novel of the same name by Arthur Ransome.

(00:19:57) This is a clip from “Val De Ree”, an episode of the “Victoria Wood Presents” BBC TV series from 1989. Here Victoria and her best friend Jackie go camping on the Yorkshire Dales.

(00:20:18) “Better drowned than duffers if not duffers won’t drown” is a telegram sent to the children in “Swallows and Amazons” from their Royal Navy father. There is deliberately no comma between “if” and “not”.

(00:30:45) Alternatively known as The Roman Baths, the open-air (filtered sea water) swimming pools at Lytham St Anne’s were opened in the early 1900s and closed down in the mid-1980s.

(00:36:23) Simon Groom was a presenter of BBC TV children’s programme “Blue Peter” from 1978 to 1986. Groom became known among the programme’s production team for his dry humour and ability to ad lib innuendo in his broadcasting (which would pass over the heads of the programme’s main audience of children). One such statement was at the end of a piece on a replacement door knocker at Durham Cathedral, declaring “what a beautiful pair of knockers”. Another remark followed a piece about hedge maintenance, in which he closed with the remark, “As long as you have a decent length to start with, well then you can manage a good lay”, much to the irritation of producer Biddy Baxter.

So sit back and enjoy half an hour of hour of two friends catching up – otherwise known as Episode 392 of the Doctor Who Podcast.
